My B-day Celebration With The Girls

This past Saturday we celebrated my birthday with my sisters and good friend Ruby. It was a fabulous day and one that I'll remember forever (warning, this is a long post with lots of pictures)! My good friend Lois taught us a wonderful class on Hand Sculptures.

The picture above is our finished project. I just love how they turned out...each with its own personality. The pictures below show how we started. Lois was gracious enough to sew, stuff and stain the hands for us - that saved us so much time.

By the way, the theme of the party was black and white. Below is a picture of Lois, myself and my sister Pat.

Here we are hard at work on our hand sculptures.

Lois also pre-sewed the hearts and made many face transfers for us...it was great to have all of this ready for us to use. We got to focus on the fun stuff - embellishing! The picture below is the one I was working on.

Below is a picture of all of us and our hand sculptures. It was such a fun project to make. Lois was a fantastic teacher, so patient, organized and generous!

Next, I have to show you pictures of how my sisters decorated the house...it was great, I just loved it all!

My sister Pat made the banner.

My sister Diana made these cups.

My sister Frances made this 5 tier paper box cake.

Maryl brought these beautiful white roses.

Below, is how great the room looked all decorated.

Diana made these black bottom cup cakes.

The food was all my favorites and all so delicious and love that black candelabra.

It was a beautiful birthday party and Lois' class was so fun. Great way to spend the day with such special people. Nate B's was great eye candy but best of all, he's down to earth with simple design philosophy. R

Your birthday celebration was so much fun. I love my finished hand. It looks beautiful hanging on my office wall. It was wonderful having Lois teach us - she was very organized and had everything prepared in advance for us, which reduced the stress of having to finish on time. The black and white theme was perfect for you.

What a beautiful party! Love the decoration's,the project, and what lovely gifts you received...Very Telling about how special you are!Lois is so talented! I just love the hands.....Thanx as always for sharing the pictures with us~~Laura H
